Default splitting tails




Don't know how great it is or if it will provide sufficient spliting to your
taste, but here's what I do: After laying down a tight thread base with just
moderate tension at the bend, switch to GSP. Spin the bobbin to get rid of the
floss like thread cross section. Lay in the micro fibits, spade hackle,
shaving soap brush or what ever you are using. Wrap back to one thread wrap
from the end of the thread base. Bare down on the GSP until it "cuts" into the
thread base and splays the tails.

I want to widely split the tails on small sized spinner patterns WITHOUT
using a "small ball of dubbing"
